Description
- This invention relates to an agent for improving haemodynamic and metabolic disordes.
- Recently, there have been reports on compounds having an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation. Among these compounds, ones having a pyrazine, ring as a main nucleus have not been much reported. Only the compound tetramethylpyrazine [Abst. of the 16th congress of heterocyclic chemistry (Osaka) p. 65-68 (1984)] and 2-higher fatty acyloxymethyl pyrazines (JP-A-59-219269) are known.
- We have synthesised various kinds of pyrazine derivatives and have screened their pharmacological activities. We have found that 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine indicated an inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, increasing effect on blood flow for organs and tissues and/or protective effect against anoxia which reveal advantageous pharmacological activities. 2-Hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine is a known compound. However pharmacological activity-thereof has not been known.
- J. Am. Chem. Soc., 74:1580-1584(1952), G.Karmas et al, describes the preparation of various hydroxypyrazines from ∝-dicarbonyl compounds and hydrohalides of aminoacid amides. 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine is described, but no possible therapeutic activity is mentioned.
- US-A-3720768 discloses that aspergillic acid and some derivatives thereof can be used to treat hypertension. However the derivatives described do not include 2-hydroxy-3-isoproyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine.
- The present invention provides 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine or a non-toxic salt thereof for use in a method of treatment of the human or animal body by therapy. The compounds may be used in the treatment of haemodynamic and metabolic disorders. For example, they may be used in inhibiting platelet aggregation, as a vasodilator and in protecting against anoxia. The preferred salt is the hydrochloride.
- The invention further provides the use of 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine or a non-toxic salt thereof in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for use in a method of treatment of the human or animal body by therapy, especially for use in a method of treatment of a haemodynamic or metabolic disorder. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine or a non-toxic salt thereof as active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, and a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition, which process comprises mixing 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine or a non-toxic salt thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, the said mixing being effected under sterile conditions and/or the obtained mixture being sterilised.
- Also part of the invention of non-toxic salts of 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine. These are prepared by a process comprising condensing 2,3-butanedione with valineamide in the presence of a tertiary amine and converting the resultant 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine into a non-toxic salt thereof.
- Examples of non-toxic salts are pharmacologically acceptable salts, for example inorganic or organic salts such as the hydrochloride, sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydrobromide, phosphate, sulfonate, acetate, oxalate, tartrate, citrate, malate, glutamate or aspartate.
- The 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine or non-toxic salt thereof can be a hydrate. The hydrate is also included in the present invention.
- The 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine can be produced according to the general principles of the method disclosed in Reuben G. Jones; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 71: 78-81 (1949) , namely by condensing 2,3-butanedione with valineamide, a type of α-amino acidamide in the presence of a tertiary amine such as triethylamine.
- The pharmacological activities and toxicities of 2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-5,6-dimethylpyrazine hydrochloride are now illustrated.
- Solution of agents to be tested (final concentration 100 µM) were added to platelet rich rabbit plasma containing 3.8% sodium citrate (1/10 v/v) and incubated at 37 °C for 3 minutes. An aggregating agent, adenosine-5-diphosphate (final concentration 2.5µM), was added thereto and the platelet aggregating potency was measured by an aggregometer.
-
- The agents to be tested were administered orally to male Wistar rats, 5 animals in a group. After one hour, E. coli lipopolysaccharide (5 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally and 3 hours thereafter blood samples were collected. The number of platelets in the circulating blood were measured to determine the ratio of platelet numbers at pre- and post-administration of the agents. The tests were twice repeated. The result is shown in Table 2. A marked decrease in platelet numbers is found in the control group. Oral administration of 100mg/kg of the compound used in the present invention inhibits the decrease in platelet numbers, which is comparable to an oral dose of 200 mg/kg of ticlopidine.
- The agents to be tested were administered orally to male Wistar rats, 7 animals in a group, in an amount of 100 mg/kg. After one hour, E. coli lipopolysaccharide (50 mg/kg) was continuously injected intravenously for 4 hours. The control group was given physiological saline intravenously under the same conditions.
- Blood was collected immediately after finishing the injection to measure the number of platelets, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time and amount of fibrinogen. The result is shown in Table 3. In the control group, to which E. coli lipopolysaccharide was injected, marked decreases in the numbers of platelets and amounts of fibrinogen and prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time were observed. In the model of experimental disseminated intravascular coagulation , the compound used in the present invention shows significant effect against all factors tested.
- Mongrel dogs anesthetized with urethane ( 450 mg/kg iv ) and α-chloralose ( 45 mg/kg iv ) after pretreatment with morphine (1.5 mg/kg, sc) were held in a supine position. Right femoral artery blood was introduced into the left femoral artery through a circulation pump and the left hind-leg was perfused under constant pressure by connecting with Starling's resistance in an exosomatic circulatory system. The prefusion pressure was set slightly higher than the mean blood pressure of each animal and the change in blood flow by intraarterial injection of the test compound was determined.
The result showing specific activity as compared with a value indicating the degree of increase in the amount of blood flow by papaverine ( 30 µg,iv ) as 100% is shown in Table 4. The compound used in the present invention shows distinctly stronger vasodilating activity than that of the control drug, tetramethylpyrazine. - A cuff type probe for measuring blood flow was set in a left vertebral artery, left anterior descending coronary artery, left renal artery and right femoral artery of a mongrel dog anesthetized as above. The blood flow was continuously measured. The blood pressure was monitored through a pressure transducer connected to a cannula inserted in the left femoral artery, and the heart rate was monitored through a tachometer by triggering R-wave of lead II electrocardiogram. The agent to be tested was injected into the left venous cephalica. The result is shown in Fig. 1.
- In the figure the increasing effect on blood flow of the compound used in the present invention in dogs is shown. The ordinate indicates the response ratio and the abscissa indicates the intravenous administration dose. The following symbols are used:
●: vertebral arterial blood flow;
▲: coronary arterial blood flow;
■: femoral arterial blood flow;
□: renal arterial blood flow;
ο: mean blood pressure;
△: heart rate. - The compound used in the present invention does not affect the renal arterial blood flow and increases the blood flow of vertebral artery, coronary artery and femoral artery. Especially selective effects on the vertebral arterial blood flow and coronary arterial blood flow are observed and so the compound of the present invention is useful for the improvement of brain and heart haemodynamic disorders.
